Articles in seedcases? They're on the grass (8)
I believe the answer is:
potheads
'on the grass' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'articles in seedcases?' is the wordplay.
'articles' becomes 'the a' (two grammatical articles).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'seedcases?' becomes 'pods' ('pod' can be a synonym of 'seedcase').
'thea' going into 'pods' is 'POTHEADS'.
'they're' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
